Bangladesh has welcomed the understanding reached between Iran and five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany on key parameters of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran's nuclear programme.

"Bangladesh hopes that the parties concerned will be able to reach a final comprehensive deal to be negotiated by June 30, 2015," said a foreign ministry statement issued today.

"Bangladesh believes that this understanding would contribute to regional peace and stability, and would reaffirm the importance of dialogue for peaceful resolution of disputes."
